About Linus
Built by actors,
for actors.
Linus was created to give actors a real rehearsal tool when no reader is available. We care about preparation that feels practical, actor-first, and genuinely useful in the room.
BEFORE BUILDING LINUS
Before building Linus, we interviewed almost 100 actors.
They all told us the same thing.
struggle with line-learning tools that don't work.
can't secure a reader when they need one.
feel performance anxiety when under time pressure.
Their frustrations were clear
"It's not that I don't know how to rehearse, it's that I don't have the resources."
WHO WE ARE
Linus is made with love by two Australian actors.
Alfred Kouris
Co-founder
Alfred has both an artistic and technical background, and brings his technical knowledge and artistic sensibility into how Linus is built.
Callan Colley
Co-founder
Callan combines an R&D mindset with first-hand actor experience. He runs Actors Kit and keeps Linus close to the real needs of performers.
WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
We want actors to use Linus to learn lines faster, rehearse with less friction, and get in the room with real people sooner.
More time acting and less time stressing.
